AVERSE CONCEPT “Symbol Of Loss”

AVERSE CONCEPT
”Symbol Of Loss”
()
I have nothing against concepts even though I at times can be rather averse towards them. King Diamond has made some really cool concept albums. AVERSE CONCEPT has nothing to do with concept albums, or so I think. To me this is more like a statement of intent. The whole concept is averse. Musically this is along the lines of stoner rock/metal/doom. My first impression was of early Anathema. It is in that region that AVERSE CONCEPT moves. I gotta say that the sound they got going for them is rather pleasing on the ears. You got the harsh vocals that doesn’t feel totally out of place with the more somber music. The vocals keep the music from going completely soft on us. They add an edge to the whole concoction. Anders Ekdahl
